Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for tinnitus in the right ear to schedule a VA examination due to an alleged in-service event and current disability.
The deciding factor: Additional development is warranted to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as there is evidence of a current disability and an alleged in-service event, but insufficient medical evidence to establish service connection.
